Between 2022 and 2025, business conversations were dominated by AI.

Most advisors followed the same headlines.

But our analysis of 1M+ U.S. private companies tells a different story.

Some of the biggest improvements in median Return on Assets didn’t happen in technology.

They happened here:

⛳ Golf Courses & Country Clubs (NAICS 713910) +5.6 pts

🌾 Grain & Field Bean Merchant Wholesalers (NAICS 424510) +2.1 pts

🏠 Residential Property Lessors (NAICS 531110) +1.9 pts

🚤 Boat Dealers (NAICS 441222) +1.5 pts

🎓 Junior Colleges (NAICS 611210) +1.4 pts

These industries have almost nothing in common.

Different customers.
Different business models.
Different economic pressures.

Yet they all became more efficient at generating profit from the assets they already owned.

The best benchmarking is about identifying where meaningful improvement is happening—often long before it becomes obvious to everyone else.

Your clients hire you to spot tomorrow’s opportunities, and you can do it easily.

With iCFO, you can benchmark 50+ financial metrics across 2,500+ industries using data from 1M+ U.S. private companies, updated through 2025.

Sometimes the biggest opportunities — hidden in the data.

A manufacturing company asks its CPA a simple question:

“Our revenue grew by 18% this year. Why is cash flow getting worse?”

A traditional CPA reviews the financial statements and explains what happened.

A CFO goes one step further.

Using iCFO, the advisor compares the company with similar manufacturers by revenue size and region in just a few minutes.

The benchmarking reveals that:

* Revenue growth is above the industry median.
* Gross margin is healthy.
* But inventory turnover is significantly slower than comparable businesses.
* Current Ratio has been declining for three consecutive years.
* Sustainable Growth Rate suggests the business is growing faster than it can comfortably finance.

Instead of simply presenting financial statements, the advisor can now say:

“Revenue isn’t your problem. Working capital is. Your inventory is tying up cash, and your growth is outpacing your ability to finance it.”

That changes the conversation.

The client no longer sees you as someone who reports the numbers.

They see you as someone who explains what the numbers mean—and what to do next.

That’s the difference between a CPA and a trusted CFO advisor.

And with iCFO, preparing this level of analysis takes minutes instead of hours.

An experienced business advisor knows that benchmarking starts with the right peer group.

The challenge is how long it takes to gather reliable data, filter the right companies, validate the results, and prepare something meaningful for a client meeting.

That process can easily take hours.

With iCFO, it takes minutes.

Instead of building spreadsheets and searching across multiple data sources, you can benchmark companies by revenue, company size, location, ownership, and other key criteria—all in one place.

That means more time for what clients actually value:
✔ Turning data into insights.
✔ Identifying opportunities and risks.
✔ Helping businesses make better decisions.

Technology shouldn't replace advisors.
It should eliminate repetitive work, so advisors can focus on delivering strategic value.

How much time do you typically spend preparing benchmarking data before a client meeting?

A declining Current Ratio is not always a red flag.

Our updated 2025 benchmarking data shows that some industries became leaner while improving profitability and generating stronger returns.

For business advisors, the key is not to analyze liquidity in isolation. Ask whether the business is using working capital more efficiently and converting it into stronger margins and returns.

On the surface, companies appear healthier than ever.

• Only 20.0% improved ROI

Far fewer companies converted productivity gains into stronger profits and returns.
